Jake, a soon to be college graduate stumbles upon
an ad in an art magazine. The town of Niederbipp is looking for a new potter to
replace, Isaac, the seventh potter in a long string of potters reaching back to
1717. For the past 8 years, Jake has dreamed of being a village potter. He
applies for the job, despite his plans for the summer and to his surprise, is
awarded the Pottery, an apartment and a vast collection of old pots. With the help of his
new friend Amy, Jake begins to piece together the secrets of life Isaac lived
by and shared with all who knew him.
Review:
This
is a fun read. You really get to know the town’s quiet little charm and spunk;
as well as the eclectic mix of people that live there. Seriously once you read
it you’ll be wishing the town of Niederbipp truly existed, so you could visit
the charming town and people who live there. It is the first of three books in the series. It is fantastic and leaves you wanting to read the other two. I truly loved Jake and wanted
everything to work out for him, he is a real and likable character. Don’t be
intimidated by the length of the book, it is a really quick and easy read.
A little more background info on the author, Ben
Behunin, he is a Utah native and a real life potter, so he knows what he’s
talking about with all the pottery in the book. He actually opens his home
sudio twice a year for people to come and view/purchase his pottery creations. Quite
the experience, he is very talented.
